Glideo is a free macOS screen recorder built for product demos and dev tools. It turns raw screen recordings into polished demo videos: the camera zooms toward your clicks automatically, with no keyframing. Same automatic zoom that follows your clicks and cursor. Same polished output. Same "this looks way better than a raw screen recording" result, without a price tag. No trial. No watermark. No catch.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Edward, and I built Glideo.
The problem I kept hitting: a good screen recording and a good demo video are two different things. The recording is easy, but turning it into something people actually want to watch means zooming in at the right moments, smoothing the cursor, and framing it nicely, and that part eats an hour in an editor every time.
While other editors expect a premium as a tool for this, Glideo does that part for you. For free. You hit record, and it watches where you click. When you finish, the camera already zooms toward your clicks, the cursor glides instead of twitching, and your recording sits on a styled canvas. No keyframing. If the auto motion gets something wrong, every zoom is a segment on a timeline you can drag, retime, or delete.
A few things I care about when building this out:
- It runs entirely on your Mac. No account, no uploads, nothing leaves your machine.
- Projects reopen. The raw capture and the click timeline live in an open .glideo folder, so you can restyle and re-export later without recording again.
- Exports come out at 16:9 or 9:16, up to 4K, with no watermark.
On pricing: Glideo is free for individuals, fully unlocked. It runs on donations through Ko-fi rather than a paywall. If a company wants to roll it out across a team, I handle that with a proper license and contract. That felt like the honest way to do it.
It's early access, so you will find rough edges. That's exactly why I'm here! If you make product demos, tutorials, or dev tool walkthroughs, I'd love you to try it on a real recording and tell me where the auto-zoom nails it and where it misses! Every reply gets read and every suggestion considered.
Thanks for taking a look!

Who hunted Glideo?
Glideo was hunted by Edward Ng. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
